Volunteer Day at the Glebe

November 13, 2013
Today was my volunteer day at the Glebe, I was away last week, so many residents were looking for me when I arrived this morning. It always feel so good to feel needed, I have many ladies that come out to my morning tea party that do not go out for anything else. This is something I truly love doing and always have, I started working in Nursing homes when I was 17. I had a head Nurse that said to me one day that if I were only doing the job for the money it was the wrong reason, I was a bit of a rare breed, I worked there because I love bringing smiles to the senior's and I still do 36 years later.

I went to the gym today and did my usual 30 minutes of cardio and then did my weight routine. 
One young fell came up to me, he is a usual at the same time of day as me, he said so how long have you been doing this now, I said since March, he said way to go, do you feel better coming, I said yes, I have more energy and seem to be able to lift more weights every few weeks, I have come along way. And still have a long ways to go yet, but I will get there.
